@ferds Managed to reach the farlands of my domain so, you're going pretty far! (My server just found a new world, poor thing)

@ferds Joined back in 2018. Recent expat from mastodon.technology

Really happy to see the influx of new users. :ablobcatbongo:

#Mastodon :mastodon: #fosstodon :fosstodon:

@ferds I’ve been around since April but my usage has definitely increased in the past month.

@ferds I said yes but I believe I created my account on another server a while ago but never used it. Then when you know what happened, I came here and migrated to my current instance and now I'm here

@ferds I've been on the bird app almost from its inception, and joined here 2 d. ago. I like it here 😎

@ferds Almost a week.

@ferds Can I ask for clarification on "here"? I've signed up in 2019, but depending on your threshold of whether I'm here... uhh...

@ferds I’m new & have no idea what I’m doing or where I am! Haha! 🙋‍♀️🤦‍♀️😆💙

@ferds Been on fedi for 5 years now

@ferds what's the correct way to answer if I've been here for 4 years but took a hiatus for last 2yrs of it til recently?

@ferds Only here a few days and still fairly clueless but learning every day

@ferds New to this instance but not new to mastodon for sure.

@ferds I'm a few days in. Super noob.

@ferds I have had a membership for a number of months but haven't used it much until the last couple of weeks. Voted no, though.

@ferds I joined in November, 2016. Some even must have spurred me in this direction.

@ferds just made my account today. although, i had heard of mastodon probably not long after it was started - but i only just now decided to check it out.

@ferds No*

* I've been on here for a few years but stopped really paying attention until the mess with birdsite happened, so I might as well be new again.

@ferds Define "here". This instance? Just days. The Fediverse? Months.

@ferds both yes and no? just moved from my old one

@ferds I joined on the 7th so wasnt even here when this toot first went out! 🙂

@ferds heh, made the mark by just a few days

@ferds What if I set up the account three years ago but only started using it last week?

@ferds no, I’m coyote

@ferds Hello from Frankfurt, Germany. Boosting. #newhere #mastadaoine

@ferds I had an account but never used it till about a fortnight ago.

@ferds I started using it actively with Twitter's implosion, but made my first account in 2017 (but never really used it).

@ferds New but I did have an original account from a few years ago I had made and used a few times.

@ferds ish. Registered years back. Reactivated recently.

@ferds Oh wow, more than double new people than old ones. XD

This is something to behold for sure!

Welcome everyone! :)

@ferds I’m technically not new as I created an account when the birdsite’s new owner started making noises, but I’ve only really become active in the last few weeks.

@ferds was here in 2018, new account in recent weeks. Mastodon has waves of users, this one is the biggest yet.
People won't stop using a site until it's impossible to use, that tipping point might be coming with the Birdsite, but the barriers to entry here are still too high for many.

@ferds Actually it depends on the definition of 'here' for me 😆​ I was on mastodon.technology for a year or so, then moved to a friend's server when .tech closed last month.

At least the migration tools work, I guess!

@ferds Thank you for making the poll. I'm relatively new: I made this account back when Elon announced he was buying Twitter. Several other friends of mine have had accounts for a while but have only just started using them.

@ferds 2 days

@ferds Even though my join date says nov 11th, that's because I've just moved between instances and the join date doesn't migrate over. I've been on fedi since 2014, and on Mastodon specific since april 2018

@ferds a new joinee

@ferds brand new 2.5days

@ferds absolutely fresh and new to this. Trying to get a general feel for the engagement and reach. It’s definitely not birdapp.

@ferds kinda. Stumpled upon Mastodon last year, got an instance running in a test environment. Then didn't do anything.

Started an instance up again and invested sometime in it since last week. 👋
